All this being said, maybe it caters to "amateur look" fans and maybe you'll make a killing with whta you've so far, but I would consider classic galleries as an alternative :2 cents:

Webmasters like myself like to know that when they login to your webmasters promo area that more than likely there will be new gallereis avialble to them from the last week they logged in.

This gets the webmaster in a habbit of coming to your program on a routine basis to get get new gallereis like clock work for his site. Its what made nastydollars so good.
That just knowing when i log in, that there will be new gallereis for me to grab and use is a hook. A critical one if you want this to work.

It then becomes habbit of which programs to always keep up with, and which to burry under the carpet and treat like a flash in the pan.

There are so many programs out there that start out strong with hosted gallereis, then never update with new ones. Just getting the webmasters to come back to ever look again for new galleries is an artform.. Loose them a few times from them loging in never to find new galleries to use, and you may loose them forever. ITs hard to get them back.

The key is consistancy.. Getting webmasters like me to just know that when they come back to your webmasters area week after week or even every two weeks that there will be new fresh galleries for me to use.

Drop the ball and have nothing new week after week for even just a month or so, and loose that webmaster.. Maybe forever.

I have optimized the thumbs and put them on a new page so you can compare.

That's one problem with having the movies open in another page.

Also, you probably don't need all the buttons at the bottom. I know it's nice to have those, to give your gallys that "family friendly" look, but unless MGP sites raise the number of links allowed, they'll cause a lot probems for submitters.

My :2 cents:

We will continue to reduce the number of links and tweak. Thanks again for your great advice.

We are adding 3000 downloadable video's to our members section and will be focusing on movie galleries which I really think is the future of free sites and if done right we have a better chance at selling them a membership in our video clip :2 cents:
so far its working great off our TGP/MGP and hopfully it will keep them coming back for more.

There arent any images on the gallereis that show a decent enough quality to be that of anything I could use..

Put some better quality thumbs on them, something I can crop and use on my thumbsites that actually looks clickable to the surfer and we got ourselves a winner.

A very simple fix..

Something that gradually evolves over time with programs trying to perfect hosted movie gallereis.

Hopefully you can bypass that evolving and jump right in if you take the suggestions Ive given.\

There are a lot of other tricks and ideas to perfecting the perfect hosted movie gallereis. But this is a start.

You should make sure that you can at least crop a 140x110 thumb from your screen caps without seeing any text on it.

I love the concept with the members area preview though.
